Afghanistan War Most Unpopular in U.S. History

A new CNN/ORC poll finds that just 17% of Americans support the war in Afghanistan — with 82% opposed — making it the the most unpopular war in U.S. history.

Said pollster Keating Holland: “Opposition to the Iraq war never got higher than 69% in CNN polling while U.S. troops were in that country, and while the Vietnam War was in progress, no more than six in 10 ever told Gallup’s interviewers that war was a mistake.”
